Redbook Keeps Surprising

I was a Best Buy to get a memory card reader for my computer. Looked at the CDs and saw a few in the bargain bin that I would like to have, only a few dollars. Came home, ripped them with DB power amp, picked the best cover art. Transferred to my Aurender through the NAS and played away. WOW, impressive sound and I really enjoyed them both. I like the High Res downloads and my SACD collection but am often really impressed by good Redbook CD. It really is the music that counts.

PS:  sboje your Meridian is a CS4390 a Delta Sigma not the best for Redbook so is the Auralic Vega also a DS convertor.

If you want the best for redbook conversion look for a dac that use R2R Multibit.

The price of the Auralic is $3.5K there are many  R2R mulibits in that budget. ask if you want some recommendations.

Sboje,
You don’t have to be confused. As its been mentioned several times in this thread just listen to DACs that interest you and then choose what "you" believes sounds best. Forget R2R vs Delta Sigma debates, just listen and trust your own ears. There's no better way to judge an audio component than actually hearing it. 
Charles,

TEchnical descriptions are a tool to help determine what interests you.  After all, you have to choose what to try based on something.  I know I cannot try everything no matter how much I might like to.

After that though, yes you gotta just trust yours ears to determine if chosen product is truly for you or not.
